Conditional sentences are composed of two clauses: an if-clause and a main clause. There are four types of conditional sentences that are classified based on their implications. Type 1 conditional sentences are used to talk about a present or future probable case. The if-clause uses the present tense and the main clause uses the future tense. Examples of a Type 1 conditional include "If I feel sick, I will not go to school" and "If it rains tomorrow, the match will be cancelled."
